Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-[3-(2,6-dichlorophenoxy)-4-nitrophenyl]-2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane (3.9 g) and 3N hydrochloric acid (15 ml) in acetone (30 ml) was refluxed for 2.5 hours. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue were added water (50 ml) and ethyl acetate (60 ml). The organic layer was dried and concentrated to give an amorphous powder of 3'-(2,6-dichlorophenoxy)-4'-nitroacetophenone (3.4 g).
